353: To My Sister

I enter your storm

You enter mine

Yours is white

Mine is black

Yours is snow

Mine is lightning

Yours is ice

Mine is thunder

But in their eyes

we're both the same:

forgotten

and alone

What if I took your storm

and ripped it in half?

What if I showed you

the northern lights?

What if you reached the island

in the middle of my storm?

What if you found it

flourishing in the sunlight?

What if I brought you to the island

and showed you what life could be?

What if you led me off the island

and showed me how

to love the storm?

What if I watched you

run into the sunlight,

and you watched me laugh

with lightning in my hands?

What a wonderful life it would be.
